Years back, there was a really great acoustic-electric group called Between The Lines. Originally hailing from Austin (I think), they moved up to the Philadelphia area and played out in all kinds of places, from The Middle East to Bethlehem Musikfest to darn near every Borders Books in existence. The two prinicpals were Kristin Kunhardt (vocals & guitar) and Joseph Brenna (guitar). There was also an electronic percussion guy, but his name escapes me at this hour. For a time, they were on What Are Records?, Ltd. (also home of The Samples), but they left that label because of what sounded like business difficulties. Anyway, I've heard little bits about Kristin still playing in the Philadelphia area, but nothing current, and certainly nothing about Joseph. As one of their earlier fans and supporters (I got hooked back in 1992 or so), I'm interested in what happened to the group, and I'd love to know what Joseph and Kristin are doing now. Does anyone have any leads, or at least remember this fantabulous but too-brief band? --MJG

She impressed the bejesus out of me as a solo, and I arranged for her to play in a showcase I was hosting at an Austin club. She brought Joseph Brenna with her. I saw them together once again here in Austin, but as far as I know, she never lived here. This is just my opinion, but she was far stronger as a solo. Joseph is quite good on his own, but added nothing to her act, IMHO, and may even have taken away from it, at least at first. I've completely lost contact with her since then, and it was good to see someone mention the lady. -- Olin Murrell Austin, Texas http://www.realtime.com/~olin
